Chain the tire off to a tree and the runflat to a truck and drive off.Is there a way one of these run flats can be removed in a home shop? Unlike a beadlock I cannot get a strap around the outer circumference and squeeze it down into the shape of a bean

YES. (a picture being worth a thousand words).Is there a way one of these run flats can be removed in a home shop? Unlike a beadlock I cannot get a strap around the outer circumference and squeeze it down into the shape of a bean

In regards to getting the strap in the tire and around the runflat, consider using a wire lead like rebar wire or nomex/copper wire and feed that in-between the runflat and the tire. Have one end of the wire connected to your strap. Once the wire is through, keep pulling the wire and the strap will follow. Fair warning I haven't done this before, but if your hand won't fit in there to push the strap through a wire-runner may do the trick.Is there a way one of these run flats can be removed in a home shop?

I completely agree. Everyone I know who has removed the 20" runflats did it with a sawzall. I would like for anyone who has pulled a 20" runflat out like a HMMWV one to post up!160lbs and 37" in diameter! All that coming out of a 20" hole. I'm not sure pulling it out is possible with the method in that video.
If I had a nickle for every time I heard "thats not going to fit" But it did!You'd be amazed how big of an item you can get in or out of a small hole if you use enough lube.
And then you wake up from your dream. Ha!If I had a nickle for every time I heard "thats not going to fit" But it did!
